I’m noticing a lot of issues with bluetooth popping up, and they only seem to be getting worse.
First it was my PS3 controller. Randomly stopped working with bluetooth after an update.
Then I noticed bluetooth sometimes just… crashes and doesn’t recover. There’s probably some weird/sketchy command I can use to reset it, but I’ve just resorted to rebooting whenever it happened.
Now my bluetooth speaker just straight up fails to connect. I was using it, the connection ‘failed’, and now it won’t connect. Lol.
Meanwhile on my phone it works just fine.
Is anyone else having issues? Does it feels like the quality of bluetooth support has diminished in recent months?
To me, this feels like some new contributors are doing things they shouldn’t be doing or some other cultural shift among them.
Been having similar issues here, on Zorin OS. DS4 controller(s) sometimes disconnect, sometimes one of them gets noticeable input delay. Then, after some time or some update, the controllers stopped connecting automatically to the dongle I am using, even though they were already paired to it. Actually, I think they stop connecting automatically only after I reboot the computer, so that means it’s an OS / software issue. It’s a cheap bluetooth dongle, so at first I thought that chinesium was to blame, but seeing as others have these problems…
